As a Pearl player, I love beyond words their kits from the beginner Export series on up to their custom made to spec, Masterworks kits.
Never heard or played one of these but a few years back they too electronic drums to a new dimension. They have a line out now called E Pro Live
ePro Live is a revolutionary electronic drumset that looks, feels and sounds like real drums. Never before has today's drummer been offered the limitless sonic capability and realistic feel of electronic drums on a drumset built with real drum shells, plastic cymbals, and real drumset hardware, all from the percussion industry's leader, Pearl.
Well, I took another step closer to enabling the completeness needed to make a whole kit to flip in Fenengi style.
Bought this nice Cleveland era kick drum today to add along to some orphan toms I can rewrap.
Hoped to find a good kick like this to make a whole kit I can now play and flip a nicer one, or vise versa, Flip the rewrapped ones and keep the nicer one.
BTW. If any of our Guitar/Bass/Drum playing members have or know folks who have Rogers drums they don't want. Please inform me and I can make offers, Thanks
You're making me want to buy moar drum shells. Stop!
My shells are in storage under the stairwell in the basement. Sadly an acoustic kit and a townhouse doesn't mingle too well. I do have my Roland Mesh kit though. I might need to wrap those suckers with something more exciting than the standard white.
I swear I saw a post on maybe the vdrum forum years ago where a member wrapped their Roland shells with a wrap very close to Neil Peart's R30 kit. I love the look of that damn kit.
buwahahhahaaaaaa I assume the misses------ which is who would do the murderlating if I drag drums home---- lol
actually no I have done so before --- back at the Bama Hacienda --- here I just dont have the space for a kit --- but --- if I ever get that enclosed porch ........you can bet there will be a set out there!
Adrian, get yourself an electronic kit... You can fit them in a small space, amp them for noise or use headphones for the sanity of those around you. You can get high end kits second hand for very little money, and you can sniff a bargain out from 200 miles away!
Granted, they don't have the same feel as acoustic drums, but for me at least, they scratch an itch.
...or do I need to go to the vet... Err... Doctor again? Aaargh!
This is the same as the kit I bought... Legacy DD502. I run it into an Epiphone Studio 10 amp.
The amp isn't the best, but with drums it doesn't sound too bad. Too many pops and hisses for me when I use it with a guitar.
